We don't intend to police the forums too strictly, but try to keep these conduct guidelines in mind to avoid an embarrassing public reprimand or even further administrative action from being taken against you.
Language
The primary language of this forum is English. Please communicate only in English except through the live chat feature or private messaging. This serves to make the forum accessible to everyone.
Be Polite
We could argue over the semantics of what being "polite" is all about till kingdom come and never come to a mutually-agreeable conclusion. Just remember to avoid personal attacks at all times -- including thinly veiled insults or pokes in bad taste. Off-topic discussions might result in a warning, but will be mostly tolerated as long as the thread participants are enjoying the conversation.
Ignore and Report
If you find someone's behavior inside the forums unacceptable, do not "feed the trolls." Never reply to a trolling poster and simply report their behavior to an admin via PM. It saves on stress and mental energy for everyone involved.
Getting Reported
If a thread/post you made has been reported, no administrative action will be taken immediately against you. The report will be evaluated and you will be warned via private message if the thread/post is indeed found to be offensive. Ignoring the warning will result in further administrative action taken against you.
Debates
Healthy, spontaneous debates are encouraged, but never fall into the trap of resorting to ad hominem arguments or personal attacks. Do not reply back and forth with single-line messages to the same poster in a single thread. It is encouraged that you say everything that you want to in a single post by replying to all points of a perceived argument.
Double Posting
This is a forum, not a chatroom. Do not double-post as much as possible. Edit your posts to reflect the changes.
Have Fun
If you are here just to poke fun at otaku culture or be a troll in general, please leave. If you don't like anime/manga/video games, then you are still welcome to hang out here, but keep in mind that this forum was established specifically with anime/manga otaku (in the positive western adaptation of the term) in mind.
This forum was established for all participants to have fun chatting about their hobbies related to otaku culture. So remember to have fun while you're here! Happy posting, everyone!
